Group Of Choir Boys Walk On Stage. Audience Bursts Into Laughter As Soon As Boy Sings His First Note
By Dreamer
The majority of the time, a crowd will give young performers a serious chance. These younger people may not be as professional or solid as others. They still need time to grow and develop but they can still give the audience a great time. It actually means alot to have the courage and bravery to get on stage and give your all to a group of strangers. And of course, there are times where the performance may not be a stellar as you expected. When these situations occur, its tough to hold back your honest reaction – and this was the case when the crowd watched these choir boys take the stage and sing.
The group is Les Petits Chanteurs a la Croix de Bois, a French boys choir. They take the stage in their white robes with wooden crosses hanging from their necks. The boys do everything a choir is supposed to. They cross their arms across their torso just like they’re supposed to, making what happens next even funnier.
The two boys in the front step forward and prepare to sing a duet. The song they have been assigned was composed in 1825 and is attributed to Rossini. Although most of Rossini’s compositions are serious and beautiful, this one is very humorous. And when you watch these boys sing the duet, you’ll certainly get a smile on your face just like Rossini intended.
The title of the song is “Duetto buffo di due gatti” or “Humorous duet for two cats.” And with a title like that, you know you’re in for something bizarre and humorous.
Although Rossini, an Italian composer, wrote the song in his native tongue, anyone around the globe is going to be able to hear this song and understand what is being said. If the title was not enough to get that point across, the lyrics “Miau,” which translates to English as “meow,” will make its purpose very clear.
The boy who begins, Hyacinthe de Moulins (pictured), by opening his mouth and uttering the first lyric. And as soon as he does, it is so funny. You’re going to laugh out loud, just like the audience does. Although it is a bizarre composition, Rossini created it in a way that properly mimics the way cats do sound. It’s weird, but it works.
But then the song changes when the second boy, Régis Mengus (pictured), starts to sing, the audience erupts in laughter. And he cannot contain the little smile from creeping onto his lips.
The two choir boys know that they’re putting on an entertaining show. And they’re happy to give the audience something that can make them smile because joyful moments like this can be few and far between.
As you listen to these boys sing, you’ll have to admit that it certainly sounds like two cats singing together. It’s a wonderful composition for that very reason. And as you listen to these young performers, you’ll have to admit that their rendition of it would have made Rossini proud. You’ll be hard pressed to find another version of this song as strong as this one is.
Since this performances, Régis has become a famous opera singer. He’s no longer a soprano, but he still knows how to sing.
